Windows 10: Disk keeps running out of space even though I still have 2 GB left. Issue resolves after...

HP laptop running Windows 11 w/ a 500 GB solid state drive keeps running out of space, even though I still have ~2 GB of space left. If I restart it, the 2 GB of space is available again and the problem seems solved, but then after a little while I get the same issue again and my drive will say I only have ~100-200 MB space left sometimes it even says 0 MB left. Then I restart again and it goes back to 2 GB but eventually runs out again even though I'm not saving anything new to the drive.At first I could use it all day before the issue arose, but now it's happening within like 5-10 minutes

My disk space is gone

Hi John,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I do appreciate your efforts and time.

Try to run theSystem Maintenance Troubleshooter.

I suggest you to run Check Disk which performs an analysis of the disk. Refer to the steps below:

Missing over 600 GB of free unused disk space!

I have an HP 250 G2 Notebook. When installing Windows 7 the setup menu showed me a list of disks and partitions and asked, "Where do you want to install Windows?" There was a 'Disk 0' with 298 GB of space and a 'Disk 1' with over 600 GB of space. I thought
I was deleting a partition and selected 'Disk 1' and clicked the 'Delete' button in the menu below the list of storage space drives. I thought this would result in seeing one drive with about 931 GB of space (as listed in the product specifications on the
HP website). Instead the 'Disk 1' and its space COMPLETELY disappeared. I cannot get that 600 GB of space to appear again. When viewing drives in the Windows Explorer it only shows 298 GB of space. When going to the disk manager, it only shows 298 GB of space.
I tried re-formatting the machine and reinstalling Windows. Still only shows 298 GB of space. I tried using the command prompt as an administrator and running "chkdsk". Still only shows 298 GB of space. I tried using "diskpart" still only shows 298GB of space.
I installed several "expert" applications that are designed to view partitions and recover disk space. Still only shows 298 GB of space. Beginning to loose hope. How did I loose 2/3 of my disk space and how do I get it back?

 

Tablet and disk space issues

I have similar issue. I got Windows 10 loaded but all my disk space is gone. Out of 32 GB I only now have 1.3 GB left. I'm running an HP Slate 8 Pro.

Thanks.
